    Communicative competence refers to a speaker's knowledge and ability to use language appropriately in social contexts. It was coined by Dell Hymes in 1966 as an alternative to Chomsky's view of only linguistic competence. Communicative competence includes grammatical, sociolinguistic, discourse, and strategic competence. Grammatical competence involves knowledge of phonology, vocabulary, and sentence formation. Sociolinguistic competence is understanding appropriate language use depending on social settings and topics. Discourse competence relates to understanding and producing different text types.

    Definition of

    communicative
    competence
    - Is a term coined by Dell hymes in 1966
    in reaction to Noam Chomsky (1965)
    notion of “linguistic competence”.
    Communicative competence is the
    intuitive functional knowledge and
    control of the principle of language
    usage.
    Example
    A competent communicator will engage in turn taking
    when in conversations instead of interrupting. A
    competent communicator would know when it is
    appropriate to ask questions to further the
    conversation, and read nonverbal cues/feedback from
    the receiver to know when the conversation is over.
    HYMES ON COMPETENCE
    ~"We have then to account for the fact that a normal child
    acquires knowledge of sentence not only as grammatical but also
    as appropriate. In short a child becomes able to accomplish a
    repertoire of speech acts, to take part in speech events and to
    evaluate their accomplishment by others. This competence,
    moreover, is integral with attitude, values and motivation
    concerning language, its features and uses, and integral with
    competence for, and attitudes toward, the interrelation of
    languages with other code of communicative conduct".
    CULTURAL COMPETENCE

    ~In "theoretical bases of


    communicative approaches to
    second language teaching and
    testing" (applied linguistics, 1980)
    Example
    educators who respect diversity and are
    culturally competent: have an
    understanding of, and honor, the histories,
    cultures, languages, traditions, child
    rearing practices.
    Michael Canale and Merrill Swain
    identified the four components of
    communicative competence:

    20XX presentation title 7


    •GRAMMATICAL
    COMPETENCE includes
    knowledge phonology,
    orthography, vocabulary,
    word formation and sentence
    formation
    •SOCIOLINGUISTIC COMPETENCE
    includes knowledge of sociocultural rules of use.
    It concerned with the learners ability to handle for
    example settings, topics and communicative
    functions in different sociolinguistic context. Also,
    it deals with the use of appropriate grammatical
    forms for different communicative functions in
    different sociolinguistic context.
    •DISCOURSE COMPETENCE is
    related to the learners mastery of
    understanding and producing text in the
    modes of listening, speaking, reading and
    writing. It deals with cohesion and
    coherence in different type of text.
    •STRATEGIC COMPETENCE refers to
    compensatory strategies in case of
    grammatical or sociolinguistic or discourse
    difficulties, such as the use of reference
    source, grammatical and lexical paraphrase,
    request for repetition, clarification, slower
    speech or problem in addressing strangers
    when unsure of their social status or finding
    the right cohesion devices.
